A group of volunteers is participating in a wetland cleanup and restoration effort.

Key issues include habitat loss, pollution, invasive species, ensuring proper hydrology, and the high cost of restoration projects at scale. Volunteer opportunities for cleanup, planting, and restoration offer a potential solution. #WetTribe #TideotheOcean #Cleanup #Planting #Restoration

Wetland restoration is the return of degraded wetlands or former wetlands to preexisting, naturally functioning conditions, or as close to that as possible. Ideally, a successfully restored wetland will mimic the functions of a healthy natural wetland. #WetTribe #TideotheOcean #WetlandWednesday
